- Trump administration revokes key endangerment finding on greenhouse gases.
- This decision undermines the legal basis for emissions regulations under the Clean Air Act.
- Critics warn of increased environmental risks and potential legal challenges.
- The move signals a shift away from climate action and towards fossil fuel interests.
Wait What They Did What Now
Okay dolls so I'm like totally reading this news report and I'm gagged. The Trump administration straight up revoked this 'endangerment finding' thingy. Apparently back in the day President Obama was like, 'Yo carbon dioxide and methane those are not cute for our health' and now they're saying 'Nevermind'. It's giving me bad vibes.
But Like What Does It Even Mean
So this endangerment finding basically meant the government could regulate pollution from cars power plants and all that jazz. It was the legal reason for all those rules that were supposed to keep us from turning into a real-life version of that movie Wall-E. Now that it's gone it's like we're back to square one.

Electric Cars Are So Last Season
And here's the real tea the guy in charge Zeldin is all like 'Automakers don't need to bother making electric cars anymore'. I mean come on aren't we supposed to be saving the planet one Tesla at a time. It's giving me major FOMO.
Throwback to Supreme Court Drama
Turns out this whole thing goes way back to the Supreme Court. They were all 'Greenhouse gases are pollutants now figure it out'. And now it's like that never happened. It's giving me legal whiplash.
Obama Is Not Happy About This
Even Obama hopped on social media to say this move makes us 'less safe less healthy and less able to fight climate change'. And he's not wrong. Like seriously not chic.
Is This the End of the World As We Know It (Maybe)
So the environmental groups are freaking out rightfully so. They're saying it's official government 'climate denialism' and that industries are gonna get sued left and right. Honestly who even knows what's gonna happen next. But one thing's for sure I'm not giving up my SKIMS anytime soon. We need something to look good in even if the world's ending.
